A slow afternoon in the Interzone…
We talked about A LOT of music on this episode…all of it is worth further investigation, but if you just need a place to start, here’s a playlist.
Ornette Coleman talks about sound as language.
The Other’s Language: Jacques Derrida interviews Ornette Coleman, 23 June 1997. In this fascinating conversation, Ornette Coleman asked Jacques Derrida “Do you ever ask yourself if the language that you speak now interferes with your actual thoughts? Can a language of origin influence your thoughts?”
Just by the way, does Derrida here explain why the French can’t do jazz?
Revisiting the Master Musicians, a very interesting article on the blog On An Overgrown Path.
Ornette Coleman and the Circle With a Hole in the Middle, by Robert Palmer, in The Atlantic 1972.
Tom mentioned this 2xLP recorded in 1971 in the ep, finally got a copy and made a digital transfer available here…
Beginnings…
Howard Shore gets his first break…
The first stirrings of Free Jazz?
Does this explain anything?
Brion Gysin’s Dream Machine with the Master Musicians of Jajouka
Interestingly, just as we were about to drop the episode, this happened...
Brion Gysin doing scary Be-Bop with Steve Lacy. Everything is connected.
In 2010 Ornette was a surprise guest at Sonny Rollins 80th birthday party concert in Now York, heard here in a 20-minute long workout of Rollin’s Sonnymoon For Two.

…How this all started…
This sparked off a search for alternatives..
This is Buchla 200e synthesizer…
Morton Subotnick made Silver Apples of the Moon in 1967 using the older Buchla 100 instrument. Sam Shepard made Promises in 2021 using Pharoah Sanders, the strings of the London Symphony Orchestra, a Piano, a Harpsichord, a Celesta, a Fender Rhodes, a Hammond B3, an Oberheim 4 voice, an Oberheim OB-Xa, a Solina String Ensemble, a Therevox ET-4.3, an EMS Synthi, an ARP 2600, and a Buchla 200e, ffs.
This was one…
Frank Zappa reads the man who taught his asshole to talk, the very same that Bill Lee recites in the movie.
Just for the Hell of it (!) here’s Burroughs narrating a Swedish Movie with a great Jazz Soundtrack about witchcraft.
...and here's a typewriter that could have kicked the shit out of all the others
